The Brighton & Hove Economic Partnership is primarily interested in the economic impact of the scheme and value added in terms of jobs and tourism. Current figures suggest that the expansion activity at London Gatwick would create up to 14,000 additional jobs by 2032 resulting in an annual contribution to the regional economy of £1bn in GVA. Initial analysis also suggest an additional 1.6m international arrivals per year by 2038. This increased number of inbound tourisms could contribute an additional £1.9bn by 2028. We are also aware of projections which place trade volume at 27% higher, with additional imports facilitating over £2.08bn of additional GVA by 2038.
